Appeal for witnesses following robbery in Portsmouth

Main article content

Appeals
Published: 13:53 11/02/2023

We are appealing for witnesses following a robbery in Portsmouth in the early hours of Wednesday morning (8 February).

 

At approximately 12.45am two men were in a car on Hanway Road when two women and a man got into the vehicle and demanded a lift.

 

The driver, a man in his 40s, drove for approximately 20 minutes, visiting locations including St. Michael’s Road and St. Edmund’s School. He eventually came to a stop on Lord Montgomery Way. The driver was assaulted in his car by one of the two women. He then got out of his vehicle and was approached by a further three men who assaulted him, causing injuries to his face and chest. He was taken to hospital for treatment and has since been discharged.

 

The second victim, a man in his 20s, was also assaulted, sustaining minor injuries.

 

The three people who got into the vehicle, which is a gold Toyota Yaris, then stole it and drove it towards the M275 before crashing it. The vehicle has since been seized by officers.

 

We are carrying out an investigation into this incident and have arrested a 27-year-old woman and 34-year-old man from Portsmouth on suspicion of robbery, theft of a vehicle, driving a motor vehicle when over the alcohol limit, driving a vehicle while unfit through drugs and driving a vehicle while unfit through drink.

 

Both have been released on conditional police bail while our enquiries continue.

 

We would like to hear from anyone who was in any of the areas mentioned above between 12.45am and approximately 1.30am.

 

Did you see the three people get into the vehicle on Hanway Road or did you witness the assaults taking place on Lord Montgomery Way?

 

Perhaps you were driving through the areas mentioned and have dash cam footage of the Toyota Yaris that may assist our enquiries?  

 

We would also like to speak to a third person in connection with this incident, described as:

 

  • Female
  • White
  • Aged between 20 and 30
  • Of slim build
  • Black hair
  • Scars on face

 

If you recognise this description then we would also like to hear from you.

 

Anyone with information should call 101 quoting reference 44230052884.

 

Alternatively, go online and submit information via https://www.hampshire.police.uk/tua/tell-us-about/cor/tell-us-about-existing-case-report/
